- Definitely there's some unchecked biases
with our guessers today
because they don't have a bigger body,
so they haven't had to do the work.
The media that they see fits them.
(light classical music)
- When you look in the mirror, what do you like the most?
- I actually don't like looking in the mirror.
- You should look more. You're beautiful.
- Oh, thank you.
- So, you know, embrace that.
- [Host] Do you think you're attractive?
- Not really.
I mean, I think I exist,
and I think the things that I say
and do are more interesting than the way I look.
- [Host] Do you think you're attractive?
(classical music continues)
- I don't know.
You know, something I've tried to unlearn a whole lot
in my life is that my worth is based on my appearance.
- Maybe, like, a seven.
- A seven.
- I would give you a 6.5.
- I identify as a woman, but I also identify as genderqueer.
And I found it really, really interesting today
at how people were relating.
The second guy was like,
he was really nice, but I think I stumped him a little bit.
- How would you describe yourself?
- Genderqueer goblin.
- I don't really know what that means
in terms of character qualities.
- I think it's interesting how other people sometimes
will perceive me one way or another,
just depending on how I introduce myself.
- [Host] Do you think you're attractive?
- Hell yeah.
- [Host] Do you think you're attractive?
- I do. Yes.
- [Host] Do you think you're attractive?
- I would rate you 6.5.
- A 6.5, or so.
- 6.5.
- I mean, right now, yeah.
I feel like I'm a solid seven.
- [Host] Has any of this changed your view on yourself?
- Not really.
- I was rated pretty decently, actually.
I was probably middle of the road, sevens and eights.
- Wanna turn around? You can, if you want.
I don't know what the vibe is called,
but it's your vibe, you know?
There's nothing wrong with it.
- Everybody has their own idea
of what they find attractive,
but I feel like putting a plus-size body
on top of that is a little harder
'cause it's either you like it or you don't.
- I'll rate you a 7.5 out of 10.
- I would give you, like, an 8.5.
- I'll give you a 7.5.
- Definitely there's some unchecked biases
with our guessers today
because they don't have a bigger body,
so they haven't had to do the work.
The media that they see fits them.
- [Host] Who's the most attractive person in line?
- The most attractive person in the line today was Monnie.
I just love her attitude.
And you can tell that she's confident in herself,
and she likes who she is,
and I dig that.
- [Host] A couple people put you
as the most attractive person today.
- What?
That's awesome.
- [Host] How's that make you feel?
- I feel really good. That's surprising. Thank you.
I don't know, I guess I'm just really down on myself
'cause I am, you know, I got a belly on me and stuff.
So I just assume that I'm just going
to get lower points and stuff, regardless,
just 'cause I've had people tell me like,
"Oh, you're pretty for a fat girl."
That's always just kind of echoed in my head
of just "pretty but not, like, pretty-pretty."
- For so long, it was people who had the perfect bodies
were hired to do you know, magazines, movies,
things like that.
And then once media became in your own hands
and people could start posting their own bodies all over,
it's when you find out that the world is bigger than that.
- [Host] Did this change any ideas that you have yourself?
- It gave me better insight on what I should work on.
- I would give you a seven.
I think your score would be way more up if you-
- If I...
- If you were a little more confident.
If you came out here like,
"I don't care. This is me. I'm fly."
- Right. - 'Cause you are fly.
- For example, confidence is one
of the main things that people do find attractive.
That's something that I really do lack in a sense.
- I'm the confidence girl. Look in the mirror.
See yourself and be like, "I'm bad."
- When I was talking to Raymond,
I think that was a good reminder for me
to probably be kinder to myself.
And it's not about whether I'm attractive
or not as a binary,
but perhaps to see myself as somebody confident,
to love myself first,
irrelevant of what other people think of me.
- I would rank you a 10 out of 10.
- Oh my gosh!
Thank you so much.
It's incredibly validating.
And especially for me,
I've had such a long journey
with self love and accepting myself for who I am
and loving my body for the things that it is
and even the things that it isn't.
- [Host] Are you attracted to this person?
- Yeah, she's beautiful.
- [Host] Matthew, are you attracted to this person?
- Yeah.
- And those straight boys really like you.
- They really did. I think it's the lashes.
I think if I didn't have lashes,
I would look a lot more gay.
I think people would code me as queer a lot faster.
- [Host] What are you gonna take from this experience?
- Growing up, I was one of the few people
of color in my circle,
and I remember thinking nobody could think
of me as attractive because I'm not what people want.
So I sort of took myself out of that race fairly early
on in my life and really focused
on these other things.
Like if I can't be attractive, maybe I can be intelligent.
Maybe I can be interesting.
Maybe I can be somebody who makes people feel included
and valued.
And I think this was kind of a reminder
that you can be all of those things,
I can be all of those things and also be attractive.
